This week P2\/1 have been exploring their new topic of People In Society.\u00a0 We have looked at where we live in our local community but also explored how we are part of our country’s community as well as the world community.\u00a0 We have started to recognise important jobs that people do in our community and we have been given the opportunity to learn about some of the skills that these jobs require.\u00a0 This is reflected in our P2 playroom where there are many opportunities for us to explore these skills and investigate how we can develop these.\u00a0 P1 have been taking in part in some of these activities too as well as engaging with some of the Fairyland activities in the P1 playroom too.<\/p>\n
In Literacy this week we have all been very spooky and P2 wrote a description about a haunted house and the P1s wrote about who lived in the spooky house.\u00a0 Some great imagination from everyone!<\/p>\n
In numeracy we have started learning and exploring addition.\u00a0 P1 have been using pictures to add this week (with numbers to 10) and P2 have looked at using cubes and ten frames (with numbers to 20).\u00a0 P2 have focused on sister\/switcher calculations, they have learned that 2 + 3 makes the same altogether as 3 + 2.\u00a0 We have also discussed a lot about ODD and EVEN numbers and used our outdoor learning this week to make our playground look chalktastic with odd numbers!<\/p>\n
In Number Talks we have been becoming much more focused on EFFICIENT strategies, the children know that they are looking to find a quick and easy strategy to count.\u00a0 We have used skills such as counting in 2s, grouping in 5s and 10s and counting on from a number we know.<\/p>\n
Have a lovely weekend<\/p>\n
